This is tomorrow. If you're interested in hearing my sound, please do drop by.
I've been booked for my first ever solo gig as a musician, by the lovely people at #Folk In The Cellar - I'll be playing at MAP Studio Cafe in Kentish Town on 14th July. If you're at a loose end for #BastilleDay/ #FêteNationale, come along and have a listen.

Will be good to see you there.
